5 Tips to Become a Pro at Photography

TIP 1

Know the Rule of Thirds

Following this rule can help you greatly enhance the quality of your pictures. It will not only make your pictures eye-catching but will also make them stand-out. The rule says that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and those important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.

 

TIP 2

Learn to Hold your Camera Correctly

 Use both hands, one around the body and one around the lens and hold the camera close to your body for support. Camera shakes can blur images, causing some of the most stunning images to look not up to the mark and a rather waste of time and resources.

 

TIP 3

Simplicity is the Key

 Using plain backgrounds; having neutral shades and simple patterns will make your photographs go from good to great. This method will help avoid distractions and highlight the main subject. The viewer should focus on the subject and not on the odd pattern in the background.

 

 

TIP 4

Light is Important

 It is important to understand that light plays a major role to make a picture look like a piece of art. For instance don’t use flash indoors let the indoor lighting do the job, using flash indoors can make your images look fake and unnatural. Also during an outdoor shoot do consider the position of subject with respect to the sun to take them to the next level.

 

 

TIP 5

Give your Photographs a New Dimension

 Experiment with different angles and modes like panorama for landscape and portrait mode to capture a subject with intricate details. It is important to try different modes and know which mode is meant to capture which type of subject.
